I find the Chiefs haters are out in force w/ the article about the LJ Sneed deal violating the CBA. The claim is that the Chiefs never tried to sign Sneed to a deal & fraudulently used the franchise tag to impair Sneed’s market value. I find that argument just hate speech. I believe the holdup in the Sneed staying in KC plan was that Sneed wanted a bigger guarantee than just the $19.8M tag. Taking a position that Sneed’s signing value was negatively impacted by the tag ignores this is somewhat true in all cases. LJ’s biggest problem was he was a late bloomer. He came to the NFL at 23+ yo. That put his 2nd contract at 27+ yo. His knee inflammation only exacerbated his issues. It’s hard to feel sorry for a guy who was a 4th round pick, & just signed a generational wealth guaranteed contract. Thanks for all you’ve done LJ! Good luck going forward!

Timing of the Jones deal impacts this and Sneed was a 4th round pick. We got his services won SBs and he wanted the money. Agreed with the analysis and comments. Tough decisions have to be made from the group that traded Tyreek. In Veach we trust. If more teams were interested then we would have some higher picks. No team wants to be seen as helping the Chiefs. The Kingdom needs to savor the management team running the plan.
